said in court. >> there is a quote in the congressional record in which your counsel -- your client said through counsel no former office holder is immune from investigation and prosecution. >> investigation is no issue. that may be true of subordinate officers, but as to the president, he is immune unless he is impeached. >> he was president at the time, and his position was that no former office holder is immune. and, in fact, the argument was there is no need to vote for impeachment because we have this backstop, which is criminal prosecution. and it seems that many senators relied on that, voting to acquit. >> don't. >> yeah, look. so when i was arnold inspector's chief of staff 100 years ago. during the clinton impeachment, my former boss had an op-ed that said we don't need to impeach him. he could be tried when he's out of office.

assassinate a political rival, who is not impeached, could he be subject to criminal prosecution? >> if he were impeached and convicted first -- >> so your answer is no? >> my answer is qualified yes. there is a political process that would have to occur under our constitution. >> a jarring moment but also kind of an ironic one. if you recall trump's own lawyers argued during his second impeachment trial he could be criminally charged after leaving office. >> we have a judicial process in this country, we have executive -- an investigative process in this country, to which no former office holder is immune. that's the process that should be running its course. >> and it was an effective argument. we know that because several senate republicans voted to acquit based on that reasoning. >> we have a criminal justice system in this country, we have civil litigation, and former presidents are not immune from

after he's out of office, you go and arrest him! so there is no opportunity where the president of the united states can run rampant in january, at the end of his term, and just go away scot-free. the department of justice does know what to do with such people. >> we have a judicial process in this country. we have an investigative process in this country, to which no former office holder is immune. that's the process that should be running its course. >> claire mccaskil, those were donald trump's own lawyers. the case they were making, here's why you should not vote to convict him in this impeachment trial, because the justice system will take care of him. the department of justice does know what to do with such people. now it's in the hands of the

today? >> reporter: we'll see the former president here, he will be attending these arguments as a krcriminal defendant but himsf a member of the public. he will not be speaking. these are legal arts that are important because they are asking questions of this court and they are trying to get answers about the constitution and the presidency that have never been asked for or answered in this country. so the main question here, is there an immunity around the presidency, around someone like donald trump who served in that office and now facing criminal charges for actions he took while he was still that office holder after the 2020 election. is there protection of him where he is not able to face charges or go to trial. does his criminal case get tossed. and on top of that, there are additional questions about was what donald trump was doing after the 2020 election, is that part of the presidency, is is

Trump Immunity Appeal

why don't you speak to that as well as the indictment? >> the official acts characterized as private acts as to the alleged motives and the characterization of the language in the indictment is the purely engaged in for the purposes which is foreclosed as the strong language -- >> and this circuit is the office seeker as opposed to office holder as to committing acts. >> this is strongly reinforcing as to the supreme court cases of sparks versus marbury versus madison and i understand the blazenbury that they use the word objective several time, and it is not on purpose and the motive and this is pushed in

this presentation, and then they come in here, and it is rapid fire questions from the judges who don't have that much patience and don't really pay attention to the clock either. so that was a, i think that always unnerving for any lawyer, but these guys were rolling with the punches. >> and there was a part in the conversation and it was judge pan, and she asked about a quote from donald trump in the congressional record, and put it up on the screen, and she says, "sorry, but there is a quote in the congressional record in which your client said through counsel no former office holder is immune from investigation or prosecution." i am wondering what donald trump was doing when receipts were provided in the courtroom. >> those were one of the -- that is one of the few moments where i saw him just look, and stare straight at the judge, and he did not have much of a physical reaction. and you know, there are times

i tend to agree with my friend on the other side that in many respects, it does reinforce the nature of the fitzgerald civil outer perimeter standard. it says you don't look at intent or you don't look at purpose, context plays a more important role than often the content of communications. i think the significant change, of course, is the acknowledgement of the -- looking at a president, whether that president is acting in his or her role as office seeker or office holder. but, again, to go back to my response to judge childs' question, although that would change the nature of whether certain -- may change the nature of whether certain things are or are not official acts in the indictment, we just think that's entirely the wrong paradigm to use. we think under fitzgerald, it could be inconsistent with fitzgerald's reasoning and also just irreconcilable with the nature of how criminal law works. to say we're not going to take account of motive or intent,

judges to take the facts alleged in the indictment as true, and if you do that, it's really hard to imagine that you can make a convincing argument that president trump was acting in his official capacity. he was seeking to retain office. he was a candidate and a president, but the acts alleged as illegal, as unlawful by this grand jury were in his capacity as an office seeker, not an office holder. i can't see how immunity would apply here. >> first of all, you didn't have to apologize for interrupting, because you didn't, and i was about to interrupt you. the lawyer for trump was arguing two separate things, that he couldn't be prosecuted for acts he took as president because of

first impeachment proceeding and then in trump v. vance that impeachment should be stayed, and wait until he's out of office when he would be subject to criminal liability. >> as to trump against vance, purely private conduct, that involved a subpoena, criminal subpoena for tax records that long predated president trump's time in office. so it was purely private conduct, a concession that he could be subject to prosecution is also correct. as for the impeachment brief that they cited in their briefs, what that says is we have a judicial process in this country, period. we have investigative process in this country to which no-no officer can be immune. >> i'm sorry. there is a quote in the congressional record in which your counsel, i'm sorry, your client said through counsel, no former office holder is immune from investigation and prosecution. >> investigation is what --
